Dan's Delirious Dorm Dugout of Doom and Delight - 09/03/07 08:51 AM
Well, I'm back. Kinda. I see that no M100's have been released so I guess I haven't missed much. 
As you all may or may not know, I'm a college kid who crams thousands of dollars of Hi-Fi audio equipment into his dorm room to the delight and frustration of my fellow dorm mates.
Without further a due...the pictures. This is my BEST set up yet. We just watched 300 and as soon as it was over one guy said "That was F$*#ing [Email]kick@$$!"[/Email] I suppose he liked the experience.
This year we aren't allowed lofts and we got all new furniture. So, that added to the creative juices for the setup. If you remember my pictures from last year it is the SAME room but a completely DIFFERENT setup and furniture. I had to get creative with zip ties to pull this one off...so...here goes.
Last year's setup:
This Year's Setup!! (Same Room)
The seating...this is 3 photos stitched together. This is VERY tight quarters if you can't tell. Since the perspective is off it looks like the QS4's are different heights, but they are exactly the same height.
My Roomate's 37" TV and my Axioms all set up nice and purdy. Computer up top and HSU sub down below my desk. The bass response is beautiful in the room setup. I was very surprised. I don't have to move it at all which is awesome!
Rear Right surround...note the use of zip ties. The zip tie going around the wood holds down the other zip tie so it can't be knocked off. That would be bad if my QS4 fell down.
Rear Left surround...I ran zip ties through the clips and through the holes in my old surround "wooden flag" I used last year. I accidentally forgot my QS4 brackets but I couldn't have used them anyways. So, two zip tie loops go through the QS4 and the 2 holes in the wood, so it just hangs there. I zip tied one of the loops to the main peice of wood and jammed a spare 2x4 in there and voila...it stays at a perfect angle.
So that's my set up! We just watched 300 in HD (my friend got it somehow) and it was simply awesome. There are some VERY cool surround segments in there. Well mixed.
If you note at one point in the movie...when you hear the boy whisper to Leonidas, you can actually hear the static of the kid's mic channel being switched on and off. If you listen for it...it's pretty obvious. They must have really had to boost his output or something.
Anyways...the room is set up completely different than last year, the walk way on the left accesses the entranceway/closet area, and there is a little "cave" under the beds where dressers and my fridge is.
Hope you enjoyed the pics!
Does axiom give out "most creative setup" awards so I can get an EP500?
